A visitor to our Nurseries declared our planting of this to be the most effective and ornamental feature in the establishment. The shapely, bushy plants attain a height of about 6 feet, with pretty palmate leaves of a bronzy green with prominent red ribs and veins, and producing through the summer and autumn numerous spikes of flowers or seedpods 9 to 18 inches long, of a brilliant rosy crimson; altogether a most effective semitropical plant, valuable alike for its foliage and flowers and like other Ricinus, absolutely insect- proof. As single specimens or in beds on the lawn, for filling up a corner, or making a hedge or line, this is one of the most ornamental plants ever introduced (see cut). Per oz., 40 cts 10 3870 Zanzibariensis. A distinct class, which surpasses in size and beauty all varieties. The plants attain great dimensions, presenting a splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves. The different varieties included in our mixture have light and dark green leaves and some of coppery-bronze, changing to dark green, with reddish ribs. The seeds are beautifully marked.
